[Jelly] Converting JSP taglib to Jelly taglib
Hi,
I am new to Jelly.
I was thinking about converting a JSP taglib to Jelly tags.
But I have some concerns.
One very handy thing about JSP parsing
is that jsp does not have to be a well formed XML document.
How about Jelly?
Could I use some jelly tags inside a html document
that is filled with javascript, ampersands and
unfinished tags?

Posted by "Christopher W. Farnham" <ch...@wrycan.com>.
Paul,
I have an architecture where some of my objects have associated jelly
scripts which are an XML representation of the object,
I call a method |'writeAsXML(File)'| and it gets written as XML to the
file. Essentially, the jelly logic that's embedded in my
java code borrows heavily from the core:file code, but I resisted using
the core:file tag for a couple of reasons.
1) By not using the core:file tag, my jelly scripts end up looking more
like the XML they produce.
2) My own java code can have hooks into logging and reporting etc.
3) I have some custom tags which allow for the above actions to happen
recursively (when jellified objects contain other jellified objects)
and having that code together makes it easier to maintain.
4) This does pretty much the same thing as castor's marshall behavior
except I have a lot more control of the final output and it's more
WYSIWYG like.
I've looked closely at the source for core:file and can't see what I
might have done differently. But in reading the explanation above,
perhaps I've answered my own question because I have a little more going
on behind the scenes than core:file, but I don't modify XMLOutput
in any way after creating it, other than simply passing it around.
Here's an example of one of my 'root' jelly scripts. The wr:embed
object calls a similar script for each composed object in a
Component-like pattern.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<j:jelly trim="true" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:x="jelly:xml"
xmlns:wr="jelly:com.wrycan.common.jelly.tags.wrycan.WrycanTagLibrary">
<x:element name="book">
<x:attribute name="xmlns">http://xml.classwell.com/clg</x:attribute>
<x:attribute
name="xmlns:clg">http://xml.classwell.com/clg</x:attribute>
<x:attribute
name="xmlns:xsi">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</x:attribute>
<x:attribute
name="xsi:schemaLocation">${this.getSchemaLocation()}</x:attribute>
<x:attribute name="id">${this.getId()}</x:attribute>
<meta>
<wr:embed object="${this.getMetaSystem()}" />
<wr:embed object="${this.getMetaContent()}" />
<wr:embed object="${this.getMetaEducation()}" />
</meta>
<bookName>${this.getBookName()}</bookName>
<j:forEach items="${this.getSectionsList()}" var="section">
<wr:embed object="${section}" />
</j:forEach>
</x:element>
</j:jelly>

Christopher,
Doesn't the core:file tag do this already ?

[Jelly] XML Declaration
Posted by "Christopher W. Farnham" <ch...@wrycan.com>.
Is there an elegant way to make sure the XML declaration is included
when writing to XMOutput?
I have a factory method a la the core FileTag where I was calling
|outputFormat.setSuppressDeclaration(false);
|This didn't work (there was no declaration at the top of my XML
files). Finally I ended up hacking
my factory method to do this:
| OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat();
//we can use this line if we want results pretty printed
//format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
if (xmlDeclaration) {
writer.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>".toCharArray());
}
format.setEncoding( "UTF8" );
format.setSuppressDeclaration(true);
final XMLWriter xmlWriter = new XMLWriter(writer, format);
xmlWriter.setEscapeText(false);
XMLOutput returnOutput = new XMLOutput() {
public void close() throws IOException {
xmlWriter.close();
}
};
returnOutput.setContentHandler(xmlWriter);
returnOutput.setLexicalHandler(xmlWriter);
return returnOutput;
|This, of course, is not the best way to do things, but it works. Did I
miss something?

A jelly script *must* be a well-formed XML document.
